OK, so it is a locomotive issue.Thanks for everyone's input on this. If I remove one of my 3236 MTH/Ives engines and restart the TIU and WIFI everything works. When I place the locomotive back on the track everything loses signal.

So now I need to fix the 3236 locomotive. We have a PS2 locomotive 3V board. When I first placed it on the track there was a spark. Tried it again no problem and it added to the remote perfectly.
First time I tried to reverse the engine the light switched directions but the engine didn't after a couple of tries it worked fine......later on I was going to run it with the WIFI and that is when everything started with my WIFI problems. It still worked fine with the remote. Add the WIFI and the signals are lost to the WIFI. My guess is that there is a short somewhere that is causing the signaling issue I am open to suggestions on the repair remedy.
